The living room was quite big and could barely accommodate everyone. She hurried to pour tea for everyone, but before she could move, she was stopped by the person next to her.
"You're the one who needs to be most careful right now. We've been living in this base for almost three or four months now, and we know a lot of things on our own."
Not all the people who came were elderly. There were also a few village officials who were previously responsible for some trivial matters of the villagers.
They were only in their forties and hurried over to help Pei Xiqing make and pour tea.
"Don't worry about giving this little girl to your aunt." The woman smiled and held her hand, looking at her for a moment. "You've lost a little weight, but you'll gain some weight soon. It's healthy to have some flesh on your body. It's not good to be too thin."
Pei Xiqing couldn't help but look at her arms and waist. "I don't feel like I've lost weight. On the contrary, I've gained two kilograms."
When Duan Xiaolin is not busy sometimes, he can keep an eye on her diet and daily life, especially during the period of false pregnancy.
"You still look so pretty and slim."
"We haven't heard from you since you left the village. We're worried about you. How's things going in the village?"
Pei Xiqing asked everyone to sit down: "The place is not spacious, everyone squeeze in. I will tell you about the village's love..."
The group stared at her intently.
"The people in the village who didn't follow you back then were taken care of by Ma Mengxiang. Everyone's been doing well lately. When the natural disaster hit, Mengxiang organized everyone to move to the mountains for shelter overnight. Headquarters has also sent supplies there several times and even sent some very capable people to protect everyone."
"That's great! We've been worried all these days, and now we can finally put this huge stone down."
Pei Xiqing handed over the teacup: "Grandma, have some hot tea."
The old lady stared at her face, laughing from ear to ear: "Miss Pei is going to be a mother, why do you still look like a college fresh graduate, hahahaha..."
Pei Xiqing's cheeks flushed at what they said: "How about you guys? How have you been lately?"
"It's really great. That little Zhang, Zhang Tian, brought us all the way here. We were originally above us, but a while ago, a blizzard started, so she arranged for us to come down quickly." The old lady said, her face still full of lingering fear: "If we had come down a little later, we would all have been swept away by the flood. The flood caused by God is really scary!"
Pei Xiqing comforted her for a few seconds, and no one disturbed her for too long.
Perhaps the life at the base was actually different from what they had imagined. Pei Xiqing could no longer see the excitement and anticipation they had for the unknown base in the village before. Instead, it was constantly worn away by the cruel reality and became monotonous.
Before passing away, several elderly people couldn't help wiping away their tears.
"If I hadn't died then, I could still be on the mountain with my old friends, enjoying the scenery, drinking tea and chatting, sitting from day to night. It might be tiring, but the conditions might be tough... Now I really regret not listening to Xiao Pei."
"Hey, why are you still talking about this now that we've left that place?"
"Stop, let's go check on the chickens at home and send two more to Xiao Pei. She's pregnant, so we need to nourish her body."
"Hey."
…
"Miss Pei, you should take a rest. It's a great joy that someone in the base is pregnant. We will come to see you in a few days and bring the chicken over."
Chicken, duck, fish, meat and other things are very scarce in the base. Taking them out at this critical juncture is more precious than gold.
Pei Xiqing quickly said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but Brother Duan and I will take care of ourselves and our children. Those things are really precious, so we should keep them to lay more eggs for later. Brother Duan and I won't accept them."
"Hey, you're being so reserved..."
Pei Xiqing smiled helplessly. It took a long time of persuasion to finally get them to give up the idea. It was not easy to send someone off. She sat on the chair, and as soon as her butt touched the cushion, she sighed heavily.
Then he kicked off his shoes, fell on the quilt, and covered his face with the quilt.
She needs to calm down now.
